NC Museum of Art's Nature Stories is a free, outdoor story time program designed to introduce young children to the natural world through books and movement. Held at the museum's park welcome center, this event combines reading with active exploration of the surrounding landscape. This program is best suited for toddlers and preschoolers who enjoy being active outdoors. Admission is entirely free, and you do not need to purchase museum tickets to attend. Park in the main free lot near the East Building and walk over to the Welcome Center. Because the event takes place outside, dress your children in layers and bring a water bottle and a stroller for the walk from the parking lot. It is an ideal Monday morning outing because it burns off early energy in a beautiful, open space. You can easily pair the story hour with a walk along the paved park trails or a casual picnic on the lawn afterward.

Wake County School Meal Benefits: What Expires and Who Eats Free

Last year's free and reduced-price meal benefits do not roll over — they expire on a date set by your child's WCPSS calendar, and traditional-calendar families have until October 6, 2026. A Raleigh mom walks through all eight expiration dates, how to apply at any point in the year, the CEP sibling gap that catches families with kids at two schools, and what meals actually cost.
